Delphi

Saturday, I went on my first big adventure by myself. Delphi, a three hour bus ride northwest from Athens, is the center of the Earth--at least according to the ancient gods. It was also the place of the famous oracle which pronounced many prophesies about war and death and, in its spare time, gave advice on marriage.

Delphi is high up in the mountains so the bus ride was very scenic. Once I got there, I got to explore the ruins and try to look like I was listening in on an English-speaking tour group. The setting and air are simply beautiful.
